May 15, 2013 - 9:30 AM - by XboxMB News |  Quote: |
Microsoft will abandon its Points based currency in favour of a real world money system, a new report has confirmed.Tech website the Verge claims that "sources familiar with Microsoft's Xbox plans have revealed plans to replace Points with a new gift card system". It is said that the new system will likely be revealed at E3, or sooner at the official Next Xbox event.In response, Microsoft has stated that "it's clear its points system is in the early stages of being phased out fully in favour of a local currency one". CVG has contacted Microsoft for further clarification.However, the company said the Xbox 360 will not likely use any system beyond Microsoft Points, meaning there could be some price comparison issues for future releases, depending on how long Microsoft will support its 360 system for.The new gift cards are said will work in a manner similar to Apple's iTunes vouchers, which will allow Xbox customers to acquire real-world currency. Cash transactions via credit and debit cards are also expected. It is also said that the new system will work across a whole suite of software from Windows Store to Windows Phone, as Microsoft prepares to better integrate its PC and device services.In October, Microsoft revealed it was phasing out MS Points for its Windows 8 service.

Rockstar and 2K Games won't have show floor booths at the June eventrand Theft Auto V won't make an appearance at E3, publisher Take-Two has confirmed.Nor will The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, WWE 2K14 or any of the publisher's other games, as Take-Two labels Rockstar and 2K Games won't have a public presence at the event.Take-Two president Karl Slatoff said last night on the company's fiscal year results call (via Seeking Alpha): "I'd now like to take a moment to discuss the upcoming E3 show in Los Angeles. This year, our labels will not have a booth on the show floor."Both Rockstar Games and 2K have instead decided to focus their marketing and PR efforts on a series of events throughout the spring and summer. Our team, however, will be present at the show, and we look forward to seeing many of you there."Slatoff added: "So our philosophy on the show is that we like the show, we participate in a meaningful way in the show. It's a great place for the industry to get together, and we're highly supportive of it. This year it just didn't make sense for us in the same - at the same level."
